Index shows continued increase in global conflict

A recent peace index listed drops in peacefulness for 92 states and improvements for only 71 during 2017.

“’There is an ongoing deterioration in global peace,’ Steve Killelea, head of the Australia-based IEP, told DW. ‘It’s gradual and it’s been going on for the last decade.’ The conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa and the spillover effects into other areas have been the main drivers in the decline of global peace, Killelea said.”
